Created primarily with the US market in mind, the Kia-developed powertrain delivers an estimated combined cycle fuel economy is 38 mpg US (6.2 mpg, highway 40.0 mpg improvement compared with a regular Optima. When braking, the electric motor converts kinetic energy into electricity for storage in the battery pack.

As batteries get cheaper and smaller, and motors get light enough to fit inside wheels, we’ll be able to upgrade smaller cars. We won’t need new power plants, since we have enough off-peak electricity to recharge as many retrofits as we can build. Retrofit technologies are already good enough to install in large vehicles.
